Very Good

In Jena for business, and this property was recommended. Clean, modern ammenties, restaurant and bar on-site. Other businesses are a bit of hike, but if driving this is very convenient hotel with plenty of free parking.
I appreciated the quick service.
The dinner menu was well balanced and delicious.
I ordered the salmon- so well done, maybe a little less spinach ?
The breakfast bar was sufficient and organized well.
Again, the service was really fantastic!
thanks!
The hotel was okay, but it would have been nice to know, that the restaurant was closed. There are not many restaurants in the area. The receptionist told us, there was a supermarket not far away from the hotel! Well, that supermarket closed at 20:00, and we were there at 19:55.
We managed to grab a bag of bread and a few slices of ham.. Nice dinner after a long drive from Udine in Italy! The breakfast the next morning was nice though.

Ein sehr schönes ruhiges Zimmer, leckeres Frühstück und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir haben den Abend in der Bar ausklingen lassen und sehr genossen. Würden jederzeit wiederkommen
Auch wenn das Hotel ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen ist, befindet es sich in einem ordentlichen und vor allem Dingen sehr sauberen Zustand. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet war ebenfalls sehr gut. Gefreut hat uns auch die Tatsache, dass im Zimmerpreis die Nutzung der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel in Jena beinhaltet war.
Bin immer wieder gerne hier. Große Zimmer, leckeres Frühstück, eine Sauna und ein toller Blick über Jena. Zudem ist das Personal super.

Besonders an der Bar sehr freundliche Bedienung. Frühstück reichlich und gute Auswahl!
Zimmer nicht unbedingt 4Sterne würdig. 2 Zimmer mit Verbindungstür für 3 Personen genutzt --> Waschbecken IM ZIMMER - sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. 2x um Reparatur des Seifespenders gebeten - erst am 3.Tag behoben. Balkon ohne Möbel... nebenan nutzen Raucher diesen ausgiebig, dafür unangenehme Luft im Zimmer. Der Ausblick Richtung Osten entschädigte etwas. Anbindung in die Stadt mit Bus und Bahn prima! Naheliegend Abendessen beim Griechen empfehlenswert.
